Type I happens when the body attacks the pancreas to produce more insulin. When a dogs body doesn’t have a proper amount of insulin then the body is unable to utilize the sugar, hence there is a rise in the blood sugar level. This is a common form of diabetes seen in dogs.
Type II happens when the cells are not able to absorb the glucose produced by the pancreas. As the cells are not sensitive enough, there is a rise in the sugar level. This is mostly seen in dogs which suffer from obese.
